koshish raegan
sab kuchh yaad kar rahā huuñ maiñ
koī baat bhulā dene ko
aur ye kaisī sachchā.ī hai
aaj bhūlne kī koshish meñ
sadiyoñ kī tārīḳheñ azbar kar baiThā huuñ
maiñ hairāñ huuñ maiñ huuñ pareshāñ
kaise chhupā.ūñ hālat apnī
har koshish lā hāsil merī
aur ye kamrā ye dīvāreñ
khūñTī se laTkī shalvāreñ
ye be-raunaq būḌhī rāteñ
farsh pe lipTī biitī bāteñ
ye sab mujh par bojh bane haiñ
uf ye kaisā zulm hai mujh par
jab bhī maiñ nañgā hotā huuñ
mere tan par chādar koī paḌī hotī hai
vo bhī ek ghaḌī hotī hai
jab siine par shahr khaḌā ho
tab kuchh be-ma.anī chīḳhoñ se
ik matlab kī chīḳh achānak maiñ hathyā luuñ
aur kisī ḳhāmosh jagah tanhā goshe meñ
saarā matlab chhīn jhapaT kar
fauran us kā galā dabā duuñ
maiñ shāyad kuchh bhuul rahā huuñ
haañ maiñ sab kuchh bhuul chukā huuñ
ab tanhā ḳhālī kamre meñ
haath meñ nañgā chhurā dabā.e
dauḌ rahā huuñ bhaag rahā huuñ
ye bhī mujh ko yaad nahīñ ab
soyā huuñ yā jaag rahā huuñ
qatl ke fauran ba.ad magar phir
vo sab kā sab yaad rahegā
jise bhūlne kī koshish meñ
sadiyoñ kī tārīḳheñ azbar kar baiThā huuñ
sab kuchh yaad kar raha hun main
koi baat bhula dene ko
aur ye kaisi sachchai hai
aaj bhulne ki koshish mein
sadiyon ki tariKHen azbar kar baiTha hun
main hairan hun main hun pareshan
kaise chhupaun haalat apni
har koshish la hasil meri
aur ye kamra ye diwaren
khunTi se laTki shalwaren
ye be-raunaq buDhi raaten
farsh pe lipTi biti baaten
ye sab mujh par bojh bane hain
uf ye kaisa zulm hai mujh par
jab bhi main nanga hota hun
mere tan par chadar koi paDi hoti hai
wo bhi ek ghaDi hoti hai
jab sine par shahr khaDa ho
tab kuchh be-mani chiKHon se
ek matlab ki chiKH achanak main hathya lun
aur kisi KHamosh jagah tanha goshe mein
sara matlab chhin jhapaT kar
fauran us ka gala daba dun
main shayad kuchh bhul raha hun
han main sab kuchh bhul chuka hun
ab tanha KHali kamre mein
hath mein nanga chhura dabae
dauD raha hun bhag raha hun
ye bhi mujh ko yaad nahin ab
soya hun ya jag raha hun
qatl ke fauran baad magar phir
wo sab ka sab yaad rahega
jise bhulne ki koshish mein
sadiyon ki tariKHen azbar kar baiTha hun
